Brief Answer:Please, get your blood pressure well controlled!

Detailed Answer:Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this increased blood pressure that you reported and the accompanying symptoms. This increased blood pressure must have certainly caused brain suffering that explains these symptoms.

I will suggest that you get on your blood pressure monitoring. Take medications as prescribed(if not you should get on treatment), exercise regularly, decrease your salt intake, avoid smoking and eat healthy. These measures would help you to achieve and maintain an acceptable blood pressure reducing the risk of possible high blood pressure related complications like stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, etc.

In all, your increased blood pressure must have been at the origin of this. Get your blood pressure well controlled through the above suggested measures.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Can medication for high blood pressure cause blurred vision? I am 93 and my Ilast check was 150/90 The medication I have been prescribed is Felopidine and Bosvate - I also take aspirin which I have had for the last 20 years. I had Bendrofluazide for the last 20 odd years but that was recently replaced by Felopidine I already have prisms for double vision, but this blurring is something new.

I had a sudden onset of vision changes, double vision, pictures on the wall sliding up and down crown molding on wall being where is really is plus also below that it appeared to be angled TV on table was there as well as next to it was another TV but it was also angled.

Ok, My sister has a lump sitting on her Cartoid artery. She has had a headache for the past 2 months, but her symptons are getting worse. Since yesterday, she now has double vision, dizziness, cannot sleep, and she feels like she is in a vortex. She is also having problems getting words out that she is thinking. She is very healthy and never had any problems. She is 28, 5 6 -5 7 and around 140 lbs. What should we be doing??

I was diagnosed with a large DVT in my left leg about 7 months ago. Since then I have had intermittent double vision, chronic headaches, tingling in my hands(particularly my pinky), swollen painful tingling upper right abdomen. Also my joints,mainly my fingers and knees, have been hurting. I had an MRI of my brain and everything was normal. My doctor seems to think all my symptoms are nothing. Should I be worried or get a second opinion?
